"Cesar does great work. He is reliable, kind and responsive. He replaced my kitchen cabinet doors, he installed my new bathroom: including vanity, medicine cabinet, light fixture, tile flooring, and toilet. All came out perfect. He replaced old closet doors with new bi-fold doors, and he helped with many other details I needed. I will definitely be using him again, I am very happy with everything!"

"Roven took the time to explain the process and the details involved in installing Belgium blocks along my driveway and a flower bed nearby that was edged with old, crumbling concrete. He extended the walkway to my front door with stone tile and at a reasonable cost. The end result met my expectations and I will use this company again for other projects."

"Great job by MK GC. We had a small but tricky painting/wallpapering/tile job and they did a great job. They were exactly on time, on budget, and completed everything plus another item I added at the last minute. Will definitely be using them again."

"First time dealing with RIBO. To be honest with anyone reading these comments, I had a pleasant experience dealing with Franco and his team and his associates contractors that were involved in all my needs, i.e. electrical service upgrading, replacing my kitchen ceiling and repairing the walls, replacing my porch tiles and install radiant heat. The team was very meticulous keeping the work area clean and containing dust and debris, it is seldom that you encounter this type of quality service. I am certain that I will not hesitate rehiring Ribo in the near future. Many thanks to Franco and his Team."

"Darek and his workers are AMAZING. They consistently showed up on time and worked with us to get the job done on time. When it became obvious that our original plan for the room (replace drywall, sand, and paint) would not address all the structural issues uncovered during the demo phase, they were more than willing and able to work with us on a solution that didn't break the bank (rebuild broken staircase, rebuild pantry, replace wood and tile flooring). The finished project far exceeds our expectations."

"I cannot say enough great things about Jay! He has helped me with so many projects around my home — from installing drywall, painting, and tiling, to setting up my above-ground pool and countless other home improvements. As a single mom and homeowner, it means the world to have someone I can truly rely on. Jay is not only skilled and hardworking, but he’s also dependable, honest, and goes above and beyond every single time. No matter what needs to be done, big or small, he’s my go-to guy whenever something goes wrong or needs fixing. I’m so grateful for his quality work and the peace of mind he brings. Highly, highly recommend!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.

If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.

Travertine is a natural stone, while porcelain is ceramic. You can enjoy the best of both worlds with porcelain travertine tiles. Some people prefer porcelain to travertine because it doesn’t require regular maintenance and it’s easier to clean. Porcelain travertine looks like the real thing but only costs $3 to $6 per square foot.

Flooring transition strips can be secured to the subfloor using glue, nails, or screws. For a more secure installation, especially in high-traffic areas, using screws or nails is recommended as it reduces the risk of slippage. However, if aesthetic appeal is a priority, glue provides a cleaner, more seamless finish without any visible holes or screw heads.

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface.
